Get To Know... mchen

You may remember when I blogged about a trade I did with another Etsian: my Sway Necklace for her reConnect Monkeys tee dress.Well, this week, we get to know a little bit more about Emily, the designer/illustrator/screen printerand bride-to-be. I am so glad we "met" through Twitter/Etsy, because she is a funny all around awesome chick, and I'm sure that if we were to meet in person, we would have a blast just hanging out and eating great food. So read on to get a glimpse of her, and if you like what you read, be sure to check out her site and blog. She is also giving away a free item to one of my lovely readers!I am… one lucky schmuck who always sees the glass half full.

I was… a really mean little kid, but I got a taste of my own medicine in middle school.

I will be… a married woman in less than 3 weeks!!!

My passion is… spread over way too many interests —design/illustration day job, QT with my peeps, going to live music, playing sports, t-shirt printing... I wish I could operate on 3 hours of sleep a night, like I used to in my 20’s!

Many people don’t know that I…
- have never eaten a peanut butter sandwich.
- played competitive ultimate frisbee on a women’s team that won gold at Nationals in 2005.
- do everything with my right hand... except write and draw.

Most days, you can find me… in front of my computer.

I’d like to learn to… drive stick.

I can’t believe I… recently overcame my apple allergy. I’ve eaten at least two a day since I found out!

If I won the lottery, I would… travel, share with friends & fam, get a house with studio space, and sew/design clothes for a part-time living (I don’t think I could stop working altogether!).

I’d like to thank the Academy for… surrounding me with such a solid support system and giving me so many open doors.Now for the giveaway!Emily is generously offering a winner either a print or tee of your choice from her shop!
